WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK BASED CONTROL SYSTEM CONCIDERING COMMUNICATION COST

This paper is discussed on some new control methodologies for wireless sensor network based control system, minimizing communication energy consumption. Some control problems with communication cost saving are defined. Then, a heuristic control method based on the Model Predictive Control strategy with a receding horizon cost function including control performance and communication cost is proposed. For a state feedback control problem, a sufficient condition to keep stability of the closed loop system is obtained. Some numerical examples are also illustrated.
